Sailaja is a unique combination of a successful performer, dedicated teacher, beautiful choreographer and enthusiastic innovator with three decades of rich experience in the chosen fields.

She is also a rare combination of an adept dancer in two strikingly different classical forms of dance - Bharathanatyam and Kuchipudi. She is an accredited solo performer and a top-ranking artiste known for adherence to the traditional repetoire, claiming the appreciation of the audience and the press.

Her initial training as a Bharathanatyam dancer under the tutelage of Guru Kalaimamani Smt. K.J. Sarasa moulded her into a devoted and disciplined dancer.

Her expansion of expression and ceaseless endeavour for classicism brought her to the lgendary Guru of Kuchipudi - Padmabhushan Dr. Vempati Chinna Satyam. Both her Gurus gave her the artistic foundation that nourished her into the exquisite artiste she is.

She mastered the Skills, inherited the tradition, imbibed the qualities, enriched the repetoire and expanded into new horizons of themes for her dance dramas and solos. she chiselled them with her inimitable choreographer skills, always keeping the two styles pure, precise and exclusive. What marks Sailaja is her total involvement, complete commitment and consummate dedication.
